So much happened in this week's episode of both Raw and Smackdown. It was the 'Go Home' week for Hell in a Cell and while Raw took the term a bit seriously, Smackdown continued to be the better show of the two shows. There were lots of ups and downs throughout the show and has many surprises. The main motive of the go home episodes is to generate excitement for the upcoming shows and I think both brands were successful in doing it.
Despite these, there were some disappointments too. There were some segments and matches that should have been booked in a different way or should not have been there at all. Let's look at such 3 things without which the shows would have been pretty much better.

#3. Bobby Lashley's Segment
In July, Lashley was in the Universal Championship picture. He was just one step away from challenging Brock Lesnar. But, since he lost the no. 1 contender's match against Roman Reigns, he has looked a bit lost in the mix.
WWE teased a potential feud between him and Elias in the weeks following Extreme Rules but maybe WWE scrapped that idea and instead involved him in random segments with Baron Corbin and Jinder Mahal. How can someone go down from being in the Title picture to practicing yoga in the middle of the ring?
This week too he was involved in an unimportant segment with Lio Rush which did not make any sense at all. Like Kevin Owens and Finn Balor, he too does not have a match at Hell in a Cell as of now. WWE can easily turn him into the face of the company if they use him right.
#2. Shinsuke Nakamura
A champion like Nakamura should be at the top of his game every week no matter what. Last week Nakamura said that he will choose his next opponent on his own, which should have happened this week.
But instead, he had a match with Jeff Hardy, which he almost lost and there was not even a mention about his next opponent in the entire show. Last week too he was not involved in the entire episode of Smackdown and now he won't be defending his United States championship at Hell in a Cell.
He does not feel like a good heel champion. Since, Summerslam, nothing interesting has happened with the belt and it has started to lose its credibility that Hardy created for it.
#1. Braun Strowman's Heel Turn
I think everyone can agree with me that Braun's heel turn was probably not a good idea. The management is compromising with his monstrous character since the time he turned heel and this week was no different either.
At the latest episode of Raw, he surrounded himself in the ring with all the heels from the locker, which made him look like he is scared to face Shield on his own. And when they finally arrived and started having a brawl with those heels, he along with McIntyre and Ziggler, ran up to the stage and just stood there. The old Braun would have never done this. He does not feel like the Monster he is supposed to be.
Let's just hope that it is a temporary thing and WWE will again turn him babyface after this feud with Roman ends.
